I can't remember, I assume they have the same justification that the science is on their side as every other country who has decided to close schools. I can't see the Irish health system as it stands being able to do with what Sweden are doing without being overwhelmed but I'm only basing this on doctors on twitter and news reports.
I've only encountered this "astroturf" phrase used it this context this week. And now I know what it means. ThanksMakes sense. I mean the whole Tea Party movement was both astroturfed/ funded by the Koch brothers and a real grass-roots thing simultaneously. If it works it works.
a very simple response - because you're buying time to learn which treatments or drugs may or may not help with this. even without a vaccine, i'd fancy the chances better of the same person getting it in six months time, than they would three weeks ago, because more will be known about how it progresses and how to treat it.The same number of people will end up getting infected in the long run so why not get it over with quickly?
It's not quite the same as funding because it's supposed to fool the people involved into thinking it's real as well.I've only encountered this "astroturf" phrase used it this context this week. And now I know what it means. Thanks

I think this is it. The Swedish doctor's argument is certainly plausible. The same number of people will end up getting infected in the long run so why not get it over with quickly?
This isn't true.
There was a statement along the lines of "Ig wasn't conclusively found in a serum fraction in an individual" made which was taken completely out of context, and then straight up misrepresented. No evidence exists that this is some special virus that you can't get immune to. I'd be very surprised if this turned out to be the case.
A lab failing to find a type of immunoglobulin in a sample in an individual doesn't imply you don't become immune to this.

Well yes, much like gaslighting it has a specific meaning but people use it incorrectly all the time.Yeah, I've only seen it in this thread. Think it means "I use fucking stupid words when I'm on the internet". I'm going to gaslight anyone that uses it
top tip: don't take your knowledge of important current affairs from the random musings of bored people on the internet with stupid sounding usernames.so basically from today's posts here i can only garner that

at least that clears that question up.
